Apparently there were queues of Icelandic players waiting to shake his hand after, and quite rightly so! Superb! Keep it up mate!

Photo slideshow from the congress has now been uploaded onto the congress website home page.

Full results are now available in the events processed for grading pages of the Chess Scotland website.

I will update both the congress website and the Chess Scotland forum with a full list of prize winners over the next few days.

For those that won prize money but weren't at the prize giving to collect - Andy Howie, John McNicoll and myself would like to thank you for the lovely, expensive meal we had after the event and the several bottles of champagne.

Sorry, it is Friday. Cheques will be sent out on Monday, June 3rd, to all prize winners who were unable to stay for the prize giving.

Having never played OTB with an incremental time control, sorry if i ask a question that's obvious to others...

Scenario - Player A stops recording his moves once he gets into the final 5 minutes of his time, then makes a few quick moves, each gaining 30 seconds (minus a couple of seconds for actually making the moves) taking his time back over the 5 minutes.
Does he then have to update his scoresheet?

Live games are available.

We are using incremental time controls!

Round 1 - Board 8 is down due to a failed battery pack. I did not have enough time to resolve. Sorry lost board 3 for the same reason. All others worked perfectly. Charging the batteries tonight

Round 2 - Board 8 is still down. It is looking like a sensitivity issue. In a nutshell need to recalibrate the board!

Round went brilliantly with no errors!

Round 3 - Board 8 is out for the rest of the tournament

Round 4 - Board 8 is out for the rest of the tournament. Lost board 3 due to not being here until 10am thanks to Citylink
